Hello. After consultation and thinking, we've decided to re-open the forums to all registered forum members, regardless of whether they've paid for Digiworld Special Friendship or not. Special Friends who feel slightly less special as a result of this change ("Hey, why should those freeloading scum get the same access as me, who has faithfully paid money to ensure the survival of Digiworld by enabling Mr Nash to buy a new bucket with which to battle the rising floodwaters in his living room, and extra bodyguards for Mr Gillen?") should note that the free weekday access to Digiworld is likely to be removed very shortly, so you'll in fact be getting more for your Special Friendship payment compared to non-payers, not less.
We hope this decision meets with your approval.
I ought to add that anyone who thinks of the forum reopening, "Blimey, this is no less than a diabolical liberty, that's a certainty to point to in these turbid times," can close their account and receive a FULL refund (ie, including any 50ps already spent) so all they'll have wasted is the precious, irretrievable seconds of youth.
COMING SOON! Digiworld retrievable seconds of youth. Can be stored in attractive presentation jar or scattered like wheaty seeds upon the stony path, unless that's a parable again.
